I used Manga Studio on this page: http://manga.smithmicro.com. Clearly I have a lot of practice to do with the software and the original scan was pretty dirty, which is why it’s so light. Future pages will be better because they weren’t redrawn so many times, this page I had some trouble with. I do like the last panel though, the tone came out well.
Who can guess what’s about to happen?

And it’s getting there…it actually looks good, the part that hasn’t been scanned in yet which is about half of it. But with a broken scanner it may be awhile before it gets digitized and published. Hopefully not, ideally I can repair my current scanner and less ideally I have to buy a new one. Newegg has one for $60 though, so I guess I can’t complain too much.
On top of the scanner and inking the chapter, I really want to get the site skinned nicely and put extra content up. Again, without a scanner that’s a bit hard to do the second part, but the first is not something I want to try. I’m a terrible designer, I have no patience or talent for it, so if anyone knows a nice comic press theme I’d love to hear it. The gentleman friend might also be willing to make a nice, simple design if I ask him nicely, but I hate to be a burden, so we’ll see.
Chapter Third should be up soon, I have all week to work on it and I’m very excited about finishing it and going on to Chapter Fourth. The foreground is almost all inked which means what’s left is the background, the layout and the dialog. There’s still a lot of work to be done but I’m optimistic about it.
